    A truly unique prize. It took a while, but then animation has so many elements. Bottom line: it was worth the wait. It's so refreshing to see one's words brought to life in a visual way. To see one's words jump off the page and become something else with actors and animators. To say nothing of its potential as a marketing tool.

    I was a winner for their 1st festival and I never saw or heard back from them after winning. As a winner I was supposed to see them make an animation of my short screenplay..but it didn't happen. I contacted them and never heard anything..don't waste your money!!
